Kiss by Carly Rae Jepsen
Kiss is an album by Carly Rae Jepsen, released in 2012. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Call Me Maybe”, on 4 lists with a best position of #168.
Kiss, Carly Rae Jepsen's second album and her first released worldwide, landed on September 14, 2012 on 604, Schoolboy and Interscope, riding the tailwind of "Call Me Maybe", the best-selling single of the year and an 18-million-copy phenomenon. She stacked the deck with producers, Dallas Austin, Max Martin, Toby Gad, GoonRock, Redfoo of LMFAO and Marianas Trench's Josh Ramsay among them, and borrowed notes from the Cars, Madonna and Robyn to build a glossy blend of nu-disco, dance-pop and teen pop. Justin Bieber and Owl City drop in as guests.
Critics liked her voice and her way with a hook, though some felt the material was young for a 26-year-old. "Good Time" with Owl City went top ten in the US and to number one at home, and "This Kiss" and "Tonight I'm Getting Over You" followed. It opened at number six in the US and went on to win Album of the Year and Pop Album of the Year at the 2013 Junos.
